While the decor is amazing and our service was good, the food was really sub-par. The charcuterie board was an enormous amount of salted meats with only a small dollop of mustard and the provided bread gratis to every table as an accompaniment. Usually, there is an assortment of pickled veggies, another type of mustard, a chutney/jam or crostini. I've never seen a charcuterie board that consisted of entirely just a huge amount of meat. My main was the pumpkin risotto which was served on a very flat plate which meant my serving consisted of a thin layer spread across the plate - absolutely not worth $34. Both the parmesan and the truffle had a strange rubber-y consistency and I was extremely underwhelmed. I was really looking forward to trying this restaurant but I can't say I will be returning for another meal or recommending Ricarda's to friends or colleagues.
